Abstract

A universal music production system and related software is provided that enables an open source microprocessor and its operating system to provide ergonomic and user friendly control of editing audio processing configurations of one or more systems, instruments or synthesizers in a music studio edit mode environment and then utilize the studio edit mode song / performance configurations in a live mode performance environment that disables the user from certain studio edit mode functions. When in edit mode, the universal music production system may check for illogical sound and effect plug-in order in a user created signal / sound stream and automatically stop its creation or warn the user of the illogical order. User created virtual controls can be displayed on a touch sensitive display screen enabling a user to control predetermined sound parameters easily during a live performance. Also, reconfiguration of any or all of the sound signal chains for various sound tracks can be accomplished substantially instantaneously via VST instrument and effect plug-ins.
